Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), is a chronic degenerative joint pathology with a global prevalence of 22.9% in individuals aged 40 and over. It is a leading cause of disability and poor quality of life worldwide due to musculoskeletal pain and functional limitations. Musculoskeletal pain is the primary patient-reported outcome in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and a major cause of disability and functional limitations this study was carried to investigate the correlation between knee pain and lumbar proprioception
Purpose of the study:
fifty-six individuals of both sexes were recruited, their BMI ranged from 24.02 to 29.98. Between the ages of 40 and 60 years Pain was assessd by visual analoge scale and proprioception assessed by The Biodex system

| proprioception | Joint position error was measured using the Biodex system 3. Before every test, the system was calibrated and stabilized. The patient was placed in a seated compressed posture on the Biodex system chair. Two curved pads on the front of the legs allowed for individual adjustment of the knee blocks, and the patient's feet were supported in a way that they did not touch the floor, both thighs were stabilized by two straps, the pelvic brace was then applied and positioned as far down as possible to press firmly but comfortably against the superior aspect of the proximal thighs. The starting position for each participant was with their spines flexed at a 60° angle. As a "target position" for the individuals to maintain during the testing, the predetermined spinal ROM was set at 60° to 90° lumbar flexion. All subjects. After recording the subjects' absolute error (AE) values relative to the 90-degree target position for all three trials, the mean deviation was calculated | at the baseline (day 1) |

| Pain intensity | Pain intensity level was measured by applying the VAS. Each participant was made aware that the VAS as being 100 mm horizontal line with one end defined as (no pain = 0 mm), while the other end (Worst pain = 100 mm). Participant was asked to mark a spot on the line between that relates to their level of pain that on a scale of 0-100 mm where 0 mm means absence of pain and 100 mm worst pain. This procedure was repeated three times and average was recorded. |
